COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:

Rinse chicken in cold water. Put 6 pieces of ginger and 2 stalks of greenonions into the cavity of the chicken. Put chicken on Instant Pot wire rack and put in the Instant Pot. Add 3 cups of water to the Instant Pot. The water should barely touch or not touch at all the bottom of the chicken.
Close lid on the Instant Pot.

Cooking time is 15 minutes, based on a 3 lb. chicken cooking at 5 minutes per pound. Set pressure cooking setting at high. I let the pressure release naturally, usually for 10 to 15 minutes.

GINGER AND GREEN ONION TOPPING

I like to use my wok to stir fry the ginger and green onion topping. You can also stir fry the ginger and green onion in the instant Pot. Simply put the setting on “saute” and the Instant POt can be used like a fry pan.

To make the ginger and green onion topping, cut 3/4 cup ginger into slivers. Cut 1 1/2 cups green onions into 3 inch slivers. Preheat a wok or pan at medium heat to high heat. Add 4 to 5 tablespoons cooking. Add the ginger and stir fry for 30 to 60 seconds. Add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Add green onions just before serving. Mix well and serve green onion topping on the chicken or serve on the side. Enjoy!
